Enjoy the same high quality product as the raw, un-tabbed version without the extra step. Square braid wicks were originally designed for the viscosity of beeswax candles, however, they can still be used for soy and paraffin creations as well. Our primed, waxed and cut candle wicks are ready to use. They have been primed with a natural wax (beeswax), tabbed with a 20mm x 6mm metal sustainer and have been pre-cut to the length of 8 inches. Candle making is more art than science. Test burning candles using various wick sizes is recommended to determine the right size wick for your particular application. Experiment, it's part of the fun! For LAREGE diameter candles. Follow instructions on the label prior to use. Total count per package is 50 pre-waxed, pre-tabbed, and pre-cut square braided, cotton candle wicks.
The first burn of a candle is important in setting the pace for how the candle will burn every other time that it's lit. When you light your candle for the very first time, make sure that it burns long enough to melt the wax all the way to the outer edge. This may take several hours. The general rule of thumb is to let the candle burn for approximately an hour per every inch of diameter. It's also important to not overtrim the wick length every time the candle is lit. A wick that's trimmed too short will not allow the candle to burn hot enough and may cause tunneling. A wick that is not trimmed far enough could cause the candle to burn too hot and may cause smoking.

I purchased these as well as the #1 size because it was very difficult to figure out the exact sizing I'd need from the documentation. (Their website is so hard to navigate...) I settled on #1 only to find that I was about .25" off for the container I was using. So I tried the #2. The melt pool WAS THE SAME SIZE FOR THE SAME CONTAINER FOR THE #1 AND #2.Either don't bother with these or size WAY UP.

I use these for votifs, because the quality is good, they're cheap, and they do the job.I cut the wicks in half because that's the length I need, but sadly, the metal tabs aren't reusable. If one had tiny needlenose pliers, and super-human patience, I suppose the crimping could be undone, but I am not that guy.
